Notes:

[R48]

He may have been born in Wake Co NC.

married in Wake Co NC

He probably is a brother of John who was also in Hickman Co TN.
He might be a son of John.

Did he have a daughter Sarah who married in Hickman Co TN 1828-12-22 Henderson Chappell? James married in 1815; if Sarah was born in 1816 she would have been 12 at marriage. That's pretty young, but not impossible. Could Sarah have been his sister instead?

He was a laborer.
